The Playful Machine
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-20252-0 (ISBN)
The book provides two levels of presentation. Students and scientific researchers interested in the field of robotics, self-organization and dynamical systems theory may be satisfied by the in-depth mathematical analysis of the principle, the bootstrapping scenarios, and the emerging behaviors. But the book additionally comes with a robotics simulator inviting also the non- scientific reader to simply enjoy the fabulous world of playful machines by performing the numerous experiments.

lt;p>From the reviews:
"Stressed on robots, the book presents the new tendencies of self-evaluation, self-organization and control of different type of technical systems, including the cognitive control theory as a new control language. The book is intended for students and researchers interested in self-organization on both the practical and theoretical level. ... The book can be also a source for courses, which can be part of the academic program of electrical, control and computer science departments."
